Work with qualified personnel for rigging the system 

Installation should only be carried out by qualified personnel that are familiar with the rigging techniques and safety 
recommendations outlined in this manual.  

 

6.

 

Ensure personnel health and safety 

During  installation  and  set-up  personnel  must  wear  protective  headgear  and  footwear  at  all  times.  Under  no 
circumstances personnel is allowed to climb on a loudspeaker assembly. 

 
7.

 

Respect the Working Load Limit (WLL) of third party equipment 

L-ACOUSTICS

®

  is  not  responsible  for  any  rigging  equipment  and  accessories  provided  by  third  party 

manufacturers. Verify that the Working Load Limit (WLL) of the suspension points, chain hoists and all additional 
hardware rigging accessories is respected. 

 
8.

 

Respect the maximum configurations and the recommended safety level 

For  safety  issue,  respect  the  maximum  configurations  outlined  in  this  manual.  To  check  the  conformity  of  any 
configuration  in  regards  with  the  safety  level  recommended  by  L-ACOUSTICS

®

,  model  the  system  in 

SOUNDVISION and refer to the warnings in 

Mechanical Data

 section. 

 
9.

 

Be cautious when flying a loudspeaker array 

Always  verify  that  no  one  is  standing  underneath  the  loudspeaker  array  when  it  is  being  raised.  As  the  array  is 
being  raised,  check  each  individual  element  to  make  sure  that  it  is  securely  fastened  to  the  adjacent  element. 
Never leave the array unattended during the installation process. As a general rule, L-ACOUSTICS

®

 recommends 

the use of safety slings at all times. 

 
10.

 

Be cautious when ground-stacking a loudspeaker array 

Do not stack the loudspeaker array on unstable ground or surface. If the array is stacked on a structure, platform, 
or stage, always check that the latter can support the total weight of the array. As a general rule, L-ACOUSTICS

®

 

recommends the use of safety straps at all times. 

 
11.

 

Take into account the wind effects on dynamic load 

When  a  loudspeaker  assembly  is  deployed  in  an  open  air  environment,  wind  can  produce  dynamic  stress  to  the 
rigging  components  and  suspension  points.  If  the  wind  force  exceeds  6  bft  (Beaufort  scale),  lower  down  and/or 
secure the loudspeaker array.
